This female skull from the Tuanacen tribe in Bolivia is reported to be 1200 years old and was acquired in 1986. This particular skull is not only trephinated, but elongated from the practice of wrapping the heads of young females. The skull is unusual as the trephination was done by scraping the bone until the brain was exposed. The patient clearly lived on as the bone shows healing. According to the literature at the University of Iowa, dated circa 1860, "trephining is a surgical operation that involves cutting out a small, button-shaped piece of the skull. The operation is done with an instrument called a trephine. The procedure is used in the treatment of certain head injuries. It relieves pressure on the brain caused by bleeding between the skull and brain. Also used to remove blood clots and to gain entry to the brain for other surgical procedures; trephining is the earliest known surgical treatment." A display stand, S-BC-115, is available.
